As I sit here and type, my girlfriends that are doing the South Beach Diet with me have all lost in between 6-8 pounds, as of yesterday.

Wanna know how much I’ve lost? 2. I lost those two pounds while I was sick, as well, so I’m assuming it was because I wasn’t eating, and spent a whole lot of time in the bathroom.

I’m fit and healthy already, I just happen to be carrying a little more weight than I’m comfortable with. It looks like losing that weight is going to be doubly hard for me. Where my friends started dropping weight right away, mine hasn’t budged. In fact, when I got on the scales this morning, I had put on a half a kilogram. I’ve been eating so well and exercising my heart out. It’s incredibly frustrating.

So my question is, what lengths do women like me – who are muscular, and cardiovascularly already fit – have to go to in order to slim down?

I spy with my little eye, a potential freelance article topic. I wonder if Women’s Health or Shape would be interested in running it?

PROJECT!

Stay tuned for more South Beach success/failures to come.
